Carlsons .44 Magnum Snap Caps

.44 Magnum Snap Caps

Carlson's .44 Magnum snap caps are inert dummy rounds that load into a .44 Magnum cylinder or chamber like live cartridges. They let you dry fire, meaning you pull the trigger on an empty gun to practice your press and sight alignment, while giving the firing pin something to strike. They also let you work loading and unloading drills without live ammunition in the room. Revolver and lever-gun owners use them at home between range trips.

Features

• Chambered For .44 Magnum — Each cap is sized to the .44 Magnum cartridge and stamped "44 M" on the side so it is easy to tell apart from other calibers.
• Dry Fire Protection — The base insert takes the firing pin strike so the pin is not slamming into an empty chamber.
• Brass-Colored Primer Insert — A metal insert sits where a live primer would, in the center of the case head.
• Bright Red Finish — The red color makes a snap cap obvious at a glance in a cylinder, on a bench or mixed in a range bag.
• Rimmed Case Profile — A rim at the base matches a revolver cartridge, so the caps seat in the cylinder and work with ejector rods and speedloaders the way real rounds do.
• Flat-Nose Shape — The stepped, flat-tipped profile follows the outline of a loaded .44 cartridge for realistic chambering.
• Reusable Training Aid — Snap caps can be loaded, cycled and ejected repeatedly for reload and malfunction drills.

Fit And Use

These caps are made for firearms chambered in .44 Magnum, including double-action and single-action revolvers and .44 Magnum lever-action rifles. The .44 Magnum case is longer than the .44 Special, so these caps will not chamber in a gun cut only for .44 Special. Carlson's is best known for its choke tubes and shooting accessories, and these snap caps come from the same maker.
